BUFFALO, NY – The University at Buffalo wrestling team had its five-match win streak snapped by 7th-ranked Missouri, 28-8, on Thursday night at Alumni Arena. The Bulls went up against a Tiger squad featuring five nationally ranked wrestlers.
The Bulls fought hard, especially at the lower weights. Justin Patrick nearly pulled the upset over #14 Barlow McGhee at 125. However, Patrick's takedown that would have given him a one-point win, was determined to come just after the final horn and McGhee held on for the 3-2 decision.
Bryan Lantry followed with a close 8-5 decision loss to #12 John Erneste at 133.
